Instruction Section: Mentoring Program Committee
The IS Mentoring Program is happy to announce its debut! The program will pair experienced teaching librarians with librarians new to instruction or the Instruction Section OR simply pair teaching librarians who want to share ideas. The program will be a forum for learning opportunities, networking, and new ideas. As this is the inaugural year for the program, the committee seeks both mentors and mentees. Participation is primarily virtual, though there will be opportunities to meet in person at ALA Annual and midwinter conferences. Mentoring pairs will be matched after the Annual conference this summer. Deadline for applications is June 20, 2008. Participants must be ACRL/IS members.

The WESS Membership Committee offers a New Members Buddy Program for each new member for their first year. The new member is assigned a "buddy" from the committee who serves as a resource for WESS, ACRL, and ALA, including ACRL and ALA conferences.
